What did this game do well? (Answer in a few sentences)

Simple yet very engaging. A fun and basically fully featured game despite the constraints in making a prototype. There is an impressive amount of potential pictures.

1) Funny! Player could get to know different city views without going outside. 2) Lots of beautiful cities, player could play for quite a long time.

It incorporates realworld data in a minimalist way. It could easily makes use of a huge images dataset and mix its labels with sampled ones to generate it content.

The variety of pictures and different locations was nice to see as there were no specifically defining features for them and it added a nice challenge. It's hard to get the same country twice until you've played it for a while.

There's a pretty large variety of cities around the world that are featured in the quiz and a decent number of pictures.

 

What could be done better? (Answer in a few sentences)

I saw a couple repeat photos after some extended play, which is only a minor issue. More audio and visual feedback would also help make the game more fun and engaging.

1) The question might be a little difficult. 2) Maybe it can be set as a series of questions. For instance, player should guess the continent / country / culture firstly.

- Currently it seems a bit simple, it display the realworld data but lacks for displaying and visualizing the content of the data. It could be better if it better makes use of the images and its label, or it could be a component of a complete game.

- I could click the next button even if I do not choose one item.

It feels more like a quiz for class than a game and it was a bit bland with the UI. It needs more game feel and juice.

It's hard to really say since the game pretty much does what it's supposed to -- I guess have a clearer indicator of what the numbers at the top mean? a very ambitious suggestion would be that it'd be interesting if you could implement something like geoguessr (google maps street view guessing game), except you only take street views from certain cities
